• Labelled Tyre Characteristics 28 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  value for treadwear that I have seen is 280 and the lowest 150. I have a particular interest in tyre wear characteristics at the moment as my 11 month old 10000 mile MB C 200K has knackered a set of rear tyres and badly worn a set of front tyres after all four wheels were found to be out of alignment
• Sick Alfa 156 2.0 TS Man 9 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  arms, repaired rocker cover gasket and the engine braking improved but the suspension did not. Main problem was car vibration all the time, through the front of the car and instability at speed. Dealer agreed with problem and decided to 4 wheel align the car 4 times, no improvement. Ordered
• Ford Mondeo - Ford Mondeo MK4 thumping sound from rear? 1 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  braking.  Any ideas what it could be? It's just passed its MOT with no advisories so a little disappointed. I wanted the car to last a year lol. The car doesn't feel out of alignment and doesn't veer at all. We drove it back home 180 miles with no issues (apart from the noise at low speeds
• Hyundai i30 2012 new shape. - Power steering 15 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  . The test was done around town and not on a motorway, so no problem would show up. The dealer seemed very helpful and I saw the car on the computer and having wheel alignment checked. So is this a downside on this model ? Brian. W.    
• 2007 MK4 Mondeo 2.0 TDCI QXBA - MK4 Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Timing belt tensioner adjustme 31 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  an arrow and a notch that are supposed to align to set the correct tension.  I have followed the guides and adjusted it so that the arrow is in the centre of the notch, tightened to torque and then rotated the crank 4 times.  When I rotate it the tensioner arrow moves about 1/2 inch past
• Renault Scenic - Grand Scenic Mk3 crash 20 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  . We have been reading quite a lot about the frames of cars now that once bent will not be repaired we are still awaiting to hear back about what is happening. The rear 2 seats inside the car will no longer go up as they have been moved aout of alignment and when moving there is a loud scraping sound

• Combo Van /06 / 1.3D - Oil Gushing From Oil Filter Cap after Oil Change w 20 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  So bought some more oil and I just started the van for 1 sec. and about a liter came out. Right where the plastic cap meets the metal oil filter housing. So far I think ... 1.) "O" ring in wrong notch 2.) Plastic Cap needs some mysterious positioning alignment 3
• Bent wheel ! 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I have had the FocuST for three months and nearly 7k miles now, I have noticed a slight wobble through the steering wheel at 75mph ish and a slight "pattering" at motorway speeds on a smooth surface. I got around to having the wheels balanced and a four wheel alignment done last week by a very
• BMW 7-Series E38 (1994 - 2001) - 00 2.8 What would cause a car to lean to one side 25 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  are old. The front offside could be sagging down i guess, but i'd expect the car to list down on that corner rather than the whole side, esp given rear shock is new. Other points maybe worth noting: had the car 3d laser aligned but the dealer couldn't get the camber in spec, as a result the car pulls
• Renault Scenic Dci belt problem 11 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have previously posted an item about a problem with an '02 reg Scenic dci with air con. Recently it suffered a thrown auxilliary alt/pwr steering/air-con drive belt. Another belt was fitted and tested with belt alignment checked out okay. However last week it has done exactly the same
• New Mondeo tyre wear 9 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  are Contisport all round and these have been on since about 12k - still plenty of tread on them all round. Got a new tyre fitted at a local dealer but I wasn't offered a tracking or alignment check (probably because it was 4PM on a Saturday) The fitter recomended getting the steering geometry checked
• Ford C-MAX - Ford Cmax wobble under acceleration 24 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  along nicely.  This leads me to think it's something drivetrain related..?   So far we've tried the following through two different garages who have not been able to solve the problem: 4x wheels balanced 4x wheels aligned / tracked 4x new tyres Wheels

• Ford Mondeo mk3 (05) estate. - tyre noise / tracking. 22 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  tracking adjusted, because the so called tyre pro suggestted the failure was down to poor alignment.  The sprog was a bit green at the time so took the advice.  However I had not noticed anything wrong, no vibration, no pulling, no excess wear etc., but since then the car has run noisier
• Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 Diesel 2008 08 reg - Steering Problem advise, cannot seem to resolve 11 Jun 2016 (Forum)
  , Track rod ends, brake callipers, brake pads, drop links , a front wheel bearing and on two occasions full four wheel alignment. Both garages have no further idea on what is causing this. It has a new MOT and no broken springs or leaking shockers visible and no accident damage repairs visible
• seat Ibiza 2010 1.6 se 7spd dsg - Loud buzzing noise from dsg between 20-40mph 13 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  the car ,saying it was ok.Needless to say,it isn't. A few days ago,it was fitted with a new set of tyres & had 4 wheel alignment check. I asked for the wheel bearing to be checked,& all was fine. I have since been to another independant garage who road tested it on a recently re-surfaced

• VW Golf Mk2 1.6 /Polo - Gearchange bushes etc refurb 12 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  have a push fit rubber ball on order. Can any body tell me if I can withdraw the relay shaft upwards after just removing the clip on the bottom of the shaft. This saves dismantling the clamp etc on the rod and losing all alignment. Should turn it into a nice quick job
